Injured Oregon school shooting survivor begins lengthy recovery

Seven-year-old Saylor Graham-Poarch was critically injured in a shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School in Bend, Oregon, and has begun a long recovery. The attack killed three students and a teacher; the teenage gunman was also shot dead.

Saylor was born with CASK, a rare genetic disorder that affects brain development and can cause significant physical and cognitive disabilities. Fewer than 600 people worldwide have been diagnosed, according to a research organisation cited in the article. She often uses a wheelchair and is known to her family and community for her joyful personality. Two fundraisers have received more than $845,000 to support her family.
